Wales take on Liechtenstein on Friday 6 June at 19:45 in Cardiff City stadium. They’re hoping to book a place at the 2026 World Cup finals!

To support the event, we’re rerouting and running additional services where possible to help get fans to and from the game.

 

Here are the changes:

  • 22:12 Cardiff Central to Aberdare (via City Line) - additional service
  • 22:25 Cardiff Central to Crewe (this was previously to Shrewsbury only and will now divert via Wrexham and Chester)
